"No, no, no, I know, of course I know!" Jiang Ning said, "I am the Lord's guard. How could I not know about the Lord's matters?"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Jiang Ning was so anxious he was scratching his head. He couldn't let this girl think that way; otherwise, wouldn't his lord be inexplicably excluded by the young lady? He decided to give it all he got: "Miss, look at me, am I not also handsome, dashing, and charming? Although I may not be as good-looking as my lord, I'm not bad, right? If my lord liked men, would I still be spared? My lord doesn't even fancy me, so he won't like men!"
Xia Wenjin found it amusing how he was trying so hard to clear Huangfu Jingchen's name, smiling on the inside but appearing doubtful: "Do you think your lord would like me?"
"Of course, you're stunningly beautiful, elegant as a lotus. My lord isn't blind; how could he not like you?"
Xia Wenjin slowly said, "But, I am a man!"
"Thud," Jiang Ning lost his balance and fell to the ground.
